Chann Jiva is a small Iyengar yoga retreat led by Pom Cayeiro (CIYT Level III) and Enrique Cayeiro (CIYT Level II). We offer Iyengar Yoga retreats, Level 1 teacher mentoring, and year-round yoga holidays on a working farm in northeast Thailand.
The land, the food from our garden, the wooden guesthouses, and the quiet all support the practice. They are not the point. The practice is.

in the rice fields.
Wooden guesthouses, a lap pool, an open-air yoga hall, an organic garden that feeds the kitchen, and quiet — in a small village outside Mahasarakham.
Every guest is welcomed
by Pom directly.
We keep groups small and take inquiries by hand. Tell us a little about your practice and what you're looking for, and Pom will write back.

Before you book.
Yoga here is education, not medical treatment.+
Our retreats teach the Iyengar method of yoga. Nothing on this site is medical advice, and no specific health outcome is promised. If you are pregnant, recovering from injury or surgery, living with a medical condition, or taking medication that affects physical activity, please consult an appropriate healthcare professional before attending — and tell the teaching team, so the practice can be adapted.

What a stay includes — and what it does not.+
Included: daily yoga practice, three daily meals — a light breakfast, lunch, and dinner — from our own kitchen and gardens, nature trails and bike rides, the pool, and pick-up at Khon Kaen Airport (KKC).
Not included: flights, massages, tours outside the farm, meals away from the farm, shopping, and personal training. Prices are in U.S. dollars, per person.
Booking, payment, and changes.+
Every booking is arranged by hand. When you inquire, Pom confirms the dates, what is included for your chosen programme, how payment works, and what happens if your plans change — in writing, before anything is committed. Terms & booking conditions →
Who runs Chann Jiva.+
Chann Jiva is independently owned and run by Pom and Enrique Cayeiro on Pom's family land in Ban Donyom. It is not part of any hotel group or booking platform. All Iyengar Yoga classes are taught by Certified Iyengar Yoga Teachers — Pom at Level III and Enrique at Level II.
